Chapter Seventeen: Third-Grade Magic Crystal

  The giant bear's intelligence was extremely high, seeing Ye Xuan and the others surrounding it, it let out a furious roar, its pair of blood-red eyes almost spewing fire.

  Liu Dahai swung his axe again, putting force into his legs and shouting "Gale Axe". The axe spun in his hand, suddenly a gust of wind rose, the axe's strong wind picked up the scattered leaves on the ground, transforming into a powerful force that swept towards the giant spirit bear.

  The giant bear also moved, its two legs exerting force, "Bang" a sound, the two bear paws brought with them a gust of wind and slapped towards the axe.

  Ye Xuan also moved, this was the opportunity he wanted. With a movement of his foot, his beautiful and swift steps had already brought him close to the giant bear. He immediately activated his Xuan Qi, causing all the meridians in his body to burst out with the strongest Xuan force. A pair of golden fists shot out, precisely the low-level Xuan technique of the Wild Stage, Golden Vajra Fist!

  At this moment, the young man's figure exuded infinite charm.

  Ye Yun and Ye Xiangting were stunned on the side, this guy was too bold, actually daring to get close to the bear monster's body, and couldn't help but worry the two girls. Liu Yizhu on the side also looked at him in surprise, she didn't dare believe that a sixteen-year-old boy had such courage.

  Even Murong Sheng, who had always looked down on Ye Xuan, couldn't help but admire his bravery and the skillful footwork.

  Bang!

  Ye Xuan's fist landed on the Giant Spirit Bear's abdomen, which was exactly where it was injured.

  A wave of pain spread throughout the giant bear's body, causing its mind to momentarily become dazed from the incoming attack. By the time it regained consciousness, it was too late. Liu Dahai's "Gale Axe" was already inches away, and in that instant, a hint of fear appeared in the giant bear's eyes.

  Bang!

  The strong force of the Gale Axe hit the giant bear's chest just right, and instantly, a wound appeared on the giant bear's chest.

  Liu Dahai was delighted to see the giant spirit bear injured, and he was very happy with Ye Xuan's timely cooperation. He had a good impression of this young boy.

  Ye Xuan landed a hit, punching the wound of the giant spirit bear. He felt the hardness of its fur and couldn't guarantee that the bear's next punch wouldn't come flying towards him. Immediately, he made a beautiful turn and dodged three meters away from the giant spirit bear.

  "Roar! Roar!"

  The giant bear roared, turning its head to glare at Ye Xuan, clearly thoroughly enraged by Ye Xuan's sneak attack. At this point, the giant bear didn't care about the wound on its chest either, and charged towards Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan dodged and weaved with swift, light steps, but the giant bear was already dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. Ye Xuan was in a tough spot - don't be fooled by the bear's injuries, its leg movements were not slow at all. In no time, Ye Xuan's clothes were torn apart by the bear's claws, and he didn't have any time to think. His whole body's vital energy flowed rapidly as he dodged and weaved quickly.

  Just as Ye Xuan was struggling, Ye Zhan also learned from Ye Xuan's sneak attack and stabbed the giant bear in the back with one sword. However, this time the giant bear didn't seem to be fooled, and just as Ye Zhan's sword tip touched the giant bear, he saw the giant bear's massive paws turn around and slap over.

  "Bang!"

  Ye Zhan was caught off guard and his sword wasn't tightly gripped in his hand when he was slapped flying by a giant bear's palm.

  The giant bear was about to attack again when Liu Dahai's axe chopped from under its feet.

  Crack

  The giant bear's paw bones shattered, and it fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing the giant bear fall, Murong Sheng rushed over first, swinging his willow leaf knife and slashing wildly at the bear. At this time, more than a dozen guards also rushed over, their swords flashing in the light, and fresh blood splattered everywhere, staining a large area of the ground red. The giant bear finally let out its last breath and stopped struggling.

  Seeing the giant bear surrounded by many guards, Liu Dahai cracked a smile, and Ye Zhan also let out a breath. The giant bear's punch just now had really made his hair stand on end. At this time, Ye Xuan looked at his disheveled appearance and was filled with longing for the Star Xuan Realm's power, at least to be able to produce a mysterious energy shield to protect himself.

  Yu Yun and Yu Xiangting also walked over from afar, Yu Yun pulled up Yu Xuan's hand and asked with concern: "Brother Yu Xuan, are you okay?"

  "It's nothing! Just wasted a piece of clothing." Ye Xuan smiled. From afar, Liu Yizhu couldn't help but glance at him too.

  "Ah! Magic Crystal! A third-level magic crystal!"

  Murong Sheng let out a loud cry as he stood beside the giant bear's corpse.

  Liu Dahai heard this shout, first stunned, then immediately smiled and rushed over with a beaming face.

  At this time, Murong Sheng stood up, and in his hand was a crystal-like object the size of a walnut, emitting a faint red glow. Liu Dahai saw the deep red color and was ecstatic with joy, knowing that after so many years of hiding, most of the magic crystals he had obtained were only first or second level, and it was rare to get a third-level magic crystal.

  And third-level magic crystals are extremely valuable. If they were to be auctioned off, the returns would definitely be substantial, it's like a windfall from heaven.

  Liu Dahai took it and confirmed that it was a fire-attribute third-grade magic crystal, and he was overjoyed in his heart. Of course, he didn't forget Ye Xuan's help either, and said to him: "Mr. Ye, Liu thanks you for your help just now. If we can dig up the spiritual grass and precious medicine, they will all belong to you."

  Liu Dahai, who had obtained the third-grade magic crystal, looked extremely pleased.

  Ye Xuan smiled and said: "We're all in the same group, no need to be polite, congratulations to Liu Dangjia."

  Murong Sheng suddenly interjected: "Yes, actually without you guys, we can still take care of it. It's just a small giant spirit bear after all."

  Ye Yun didn't like hearing this and immediately wanted to retort, but Ye Xuan pulled on her slender hand. Angrily, Ye Yun's little mouth puffed out, looking quite adorable.

  Ye Zhan's face also turned gloomy upon hearing this, he coldly snorted and walked to a distant place to pick up the Seven Extremes Sword that was knocked flying by the bear monster.

  Then, the Arms Merchant chose a side road and walked in the direction they came from. At this time, Liu Da Hai actually wished he could return immediately, after all, carrying a third-level magic crystal in these mountains was not safe.

  Soon, Liu Da Hai and his party disappeared into the dense forest again. All that was left was a giant spirit bear's blood-stained corpse.

  Just as they were about to leave, two figures clad in black coarse clothing appeared beside the corpse of the giant spirit bear. One of them was a burly man with a shaved head and a scar on his left cheek, holding an iron hammer. He said to the other one, "Damn it, this beast is dead. Let's go back, Second Brother. Big Brother is still waiting for us."

  Another middle-aged man holding a silver folding fan said after a moment of contemplation, "Looking at the corpse, it should have just died. The battlefield is chaotic and must have taken great effort. Let's chase up that group, I want to see who dares to rob our prey."

  Scarface nodded, and two long shadows moved, quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.
